I have the expander hanging in my study, and every time I pass it, I'm doing some exercises - so two or three minutes. I started with three bands and which are to cope with. The tapes are easy mount and unmount (as already described, simply press a yellow part towards the handle, then dissolves the plastic panel). For general fitness perfectly adequate, who wants to look like a wrestler, but should order a bench. And the shipping was three days also ok
